ConnectWise Automate

Riepilogo del prodotto

ConnectWise Automate, precedentemente nota come LabTech, è una piattaforma di monitoraggio e gestione remota (RMM) che semplifica e automatizza la gestione, la manutenzione e la risoluzione dei problemi degli endpoint. La funzionalità di scripting consente ai fornitori di servizi gestiti (MSP) e ai team IT di automatizzare i processi e i flussi di lavoro di routine e di personalizzare la piattaforma in base alle proprie esigenze.

Casi d’uso

  • Gestione remota degli endpoint:
    Grazie ad una visualizzazione centralizzata, gli utenti possono monitorare lo stato dei dispositivi e gestire gli endpoint, risolvendo i problemi di prestazioni o di sicurezza senza tempi di inattività eccessivi.
  • Gestione delle patch e del software:
    Distribuisci le applicazioni e installa gli aggiornamenti tramite la soluzione per garantire la configurazione, l’ottimizzazione e la sicurezza dei dispositivi.
  • Automazione:
    Riduci i carichi di lavoro IT di routine automatizzando le attività ripetibili.

Punti deboli

  • Difficoltà di implementazione:
    L’implementazione iniziale di ConnectWise Automate è complessa, costosa e richiede molto tempo e gli utenti hanno spesso bisogno di consulenti per implementare e utilizzare la soluzione.
  • Interfaccia complessa:
    I tecnici potrebbero impiegare molto tempo per comprendere appieno come utilizzare le funzionalità e le impostazioni della piattaforma.
  • Mancanza di supporto per i dispositivi non Windows:
    La soluzione è costruita più per i dispositivi Windows con meno patch, azioni e dati per gli altri sistemi operativi.

Esper

Product Summary

Esper is a next-generation mobile device management (MDM) solution marketed as the “smarter approach” to managing iOS and Android tablets, kiosks, smartphones, and IoT edge devices, among other devices. Its platform offers a wide range of features that allow IT teams to monitor their fleet efficiently from a single pane of glass.

Use Cases

  • Centralized device management:
    Esper provides MDM capabilities from a single dashboard.
  • Remote diagnostics:
    Esper helps you monitor all your devices for possible performance issues and resolve them before they become larger technical issues.
  • Compliance enforcement:
    Users can easily set policies, and Esper will automatically and accurately enforce them.

Shortcomings

  • Remote access:
    Esper could improve its remote control and viewing tool so users can manage multiple devices in real-time without slowing down.
  • Platform compatibility:
    According to some G2 users, Esper is much better suited for Android devices, leaving its support for iOS devices much to be desired.
  • Reporting capabilities:
    Some G2 users have stated that they occasionally have difficulty using Esper’s reporting function.
